WELCOME TO THE NATIONAL HAVURAH COMMITTEE
We're network of diverse individuals and communities dedicated to Jewish living and learning, community building, and tikkun olam (repairing the world). NHC's flagship program, Summer Institute brings together Jews from across North America to envision a joyful grassroots Judaism and provide the tools to help them create empowered Jewish lives and communities
Every teacher is also a student and every student is also a teacher.
2026-2027 Strategic Planning Process
The NHC is undertaking a strategic planning process because we see opportunities to refresh our programming and organizational model. We want to ensure that the NHC’s activities align with the highest priorities of our community — and are well matched with our current volunteer capacity and resources. A strategic plan can recenter us on our core values and help us made trade-off decisions as needed in the coming years.
​
In developing a strategic plan, we seek to balance inclusion with efficiency, in a process that knits us closer as a community. We are currently engaged in a listening process, which started with a workshop at Institute and includes the online survey , one-on-one conversations, and online sessions (forthcoming). We will then develop options for addressing the needs and opportunities that emerge from the listening process. And finally, the Board will finalize a way forward and share the plan back with the community — likely in late Spring. This process is guided by a committee of community leaders and Board members.

Hey, where's the information about...?
We gave this website a major overhaul during summer & fall of 2025. A lot of pages moved (or were archived if they contained information that was several years out of date). If you're looking for something that used to be here OR if you are new to NHC looking for basic information, please email us.
